Hi,
I apologize if the answer to this question is obvious or stupid - I can't seem to find it stickied or find it, but where do you get the "official" 6.5 ROM for the Touch Diamond? I was told by HTC that there is no official 6.5 ROM for the Diamond, so I'm a little confused.
me 2
I'm also looking for an official 6.5 ROM for the Diamond but it seems that HTC has not released any 6.5 ROM for Diamond, and the guys who cook ROMs around here are probably using a ROM for another phone (probably the Diamond 2) to cook 6.5 ROMs for the Diamond.
But I might be mistaken... If so, could someone post a link to the official 6.5 ROM for the Diamond ?
please guys understand that never will be a 6.5 for diamond. at this point we should not see updates/fixes or anything from htc to diamond1.
no rom
The weird thing is that I also have an HTC Snap, the Snap came out right after the Diamond, and you can download the 6.5 ROM for the Snap on HTC's website. Also, if you look at the number of threads on the xda forum for Diamond1, and you look at the number of threads for the Snap, you can tell that there are much more people out there caring attention to the Diamond1. So I don't get this HTC strategy to not release a 6.5 ROM for the Diamond1. Note that the Snap is also called the Ozone in the UK and that a lot of business companies use that phone over there... So maybe that's one of the reasons. Oh well.... I'm sure there are a few 6.5 cooked ROMs around here which are Ok for the Diamond anyway
RAM
Snap vs Diamond for RAM ? Maybe that is the reason ?
Nope.
Both have 192 MB ram.

My Diamond is my first HTC phone so I don't have any experience of how long they actively develop ROMs for their phones.
We're now on 1.93.x.x which is the basis for all the great cooked ROMs on this forum, but are HTC likely to release a major ROM upgrade for the Diamond which the chefs can work with - or does everyone think that 1.93.x.x will be the last official release?
its anyone's guess...
I remembered the o2 atom was way past its used by date... then out of the blue someone hacked WM6.1 to run on it unofficially...
same might be done when the HTC HD comes out...
i saw the clips on it... TF3D was running smooth as butter... with no choppyness / frame rate drop...
hopefully we'll get an 'official' firmware update... (since the hardware is the same more or less?)
if not there's the TF2D section in the xda hacking area... and rom cookers are always improving on rom speed
I had an iphone prior to changing to the touch diamond... there's more potential in this phone than apples...
double post... del

yeahhhhh
cook cook cook.....
orz.... it is Chinese 山寨 production
can we keep this section clean please, this is ment to be about rom development, not constant rumours about a future os, microsoft will officially release windows mobile 6.5 when they do, in then mean time can we start posting these threads in the diamond section not the rom development one of this is gunna get very untidy for people seaching for a particular rom
Have u even read the page u sent us 2 lol its about a grey import a htc viva knockoff running sum kind of windows 6.5 wannabe
i have been using the 6.5 roms and find there are a lot of inconsistencies among the different roms. hence my question.
yes, the roms are pretty stable currently, but i would like to see a more consistent interface.
once the official version start being released on phones, how quickly will they turn up in a cooked form on xda, so that i can flash my diamond with one?
I think HTC will not be released WM 6.5 for old diamond at all

i meant an official 6.5 version converted for diamond (which would be just as good, if not better than an official diamond version)
Well the first devices to ship with 6.5 officially are the T-Mobile Wing II (Rhodium 100) and the Dopod Tachi (HTC Twin) and that is in July at some point. So expect something shortly after that.
The 21815 and 21820 prerelease builds are stable and fast!
However, WM6.5 release will leak soon, they're at the end of developing... and... in final 6.5 version I suppose that there'll be few minor changes, because latest builds are nearly perfect... so don't be anxious for final version..
And quoting incredulous, someday of July we'll have final 6.5!

Hi i work at a Telstra shop and have just received a shipment of HTC Diamond 2's which is running WinMo 6.5 and it appears the same version of Manilla as the Touch Pro 2. Believe me its faster then any custom ROM's i have tried for the diamond if anyone can use this post up some instructions for a ROM dump and I will upload it.
Regards Waffles
That is the man!
Thank you because you want to share with community.
I hope somebody will help you with porting.
That's the spirit!

Are you saying that the Touch diamond 2 is coming to telstra? I thought they were only getting the Touch Pro 2.
Can you confirm if the HTC Leo is also coming to Telstra? I would really like to know because I am a Telstra customer and would like to buy the phone.
Info like release date will be helpfull.
Thanks
This should be in the TD2 section, not TD.
Telstra
Yes the TD2 is coming to Telstra starting sale on October 6 i think it may be at T(life) stores first. I know this forum is for the Diamond but since the diamond has such bad performance i thought this might be helpful to some of the cooks that hang around here, if its not of use by all means remove the thread.

yea ... but is for touch diamond 2 not touch diamond u post wrong way le bro ..
I have the Telstra version of TOUCH PRO 2 running WM6.1 and love it. Can't wait to try out the WM6.5 and hopefully the new TouchFLO. I like the Twitter tab.
HTC Leo
to answer your question i just saw the HTC Leo codes in our list of phones to sell, while this doesn't mean for sure we will have it it makes it pretty likely obviously no word yet on plans or pricing but expect it to be mobile repayment option only (at least at the start) and priced at $1499.
Regards Waffles
I e-mailed HTC recently. Their reply:
"6.5 will be available around october time for the devices below:
HTC touch pro 2
HTC touch diamond 2.
if the device is branded please contact the network for further updates.
We have no information on what other devices will be updated as of yet. "
There is hope for us Diamond users then!

oh good.
i am looking for someone who can help me out in actually tainting my own Topaz:
i got mine as a prize from Microsoft at their retailer demonstration of windows 7.
my issue is that in Australia- there is Telstra ROM, then there is manila ROM. i have the Manila, and my Mobile Foxtel doesn't work.
i also can't wait for HTC to officially release a winmo 6.5 upgrade for my phone- and since i am a Telstra dealer, i need an excuse to play with my phone at work- best way for me to do that is to install the telstra ROM, but i can't find anyone with the Telstra ROM at all.
most importantly- i need my mobile foxtel.
i am having withdrawls from almost ad- free tv on my way to work
i need a stock ROM wwe 6.5 topaz for my TD2.........anywhere to find that??

please have anyone from you windows mobile 6.5 for HTC Tytn 2 ?
I need
WM6.5.5 custom ROM Build 23146 for HTC TyTN II / HTC Kaiser
Where can I download it?? Any links please?
the only rom i could come up with, as far as updating it is concerned, is this one
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FPRCBR29
tell me if it somewhat meets your needs, i'll eventually try to find more unluckily, being tytn2 way too old, nobody is caring about updating it anymore. If i had a kitchen, i'd try to make some rom to keep tytn2 somewhat up, but i don't even own a tytn2 anymore, lol
